Red face To Schab33

I know exactly what you are feeling. We are so blessed that our town's first sober living house opened just a couple months after my son was released from rehab. AND, in fact, that the court found an open rehab for him. God has been working! I have come to the conclusion that I am not able to handle any of this alone, and that I can't do anything at all to help him. It's been an empowering realization, because I don't have to feel responsible for every single thing that happens. For some reason, I seemed to think I had the power to affect his addiction. Learning that I don't has made an enormous difference in my own head, and consequently, in what I do. Boundaries help protect everyone. My prayers go out to you for strength, and that you will find the resources your family needs.
